Lindsey Graham eulogized as an ‘American original’ at services drawing world leaders in WashingtonWASHINGTON (ASSOCIATED PRESS) – According to Associated Press, Sen. Lindsey Graham, the son of pool hall owners who rose to become one of his generation’s more influential U.S. politicians at home and abroad, is being eulogized Tuesday as a “swashbuckling” public servant and “true American original” during memorial services in Washington. Graham died suddenly on July 11 at his home in Washington of a likely aortic tear, according to preliminary findings. Weeks later, Trump invited Graham to his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, rekindling their alliance. Graham had become what Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., called the “Trump whisperer,” someone other senators — and even world leaders — relied on to understand the president’s thinking. In the Senate, Graham briefly switched back to active status to help advise the Air Force during the Iraq War.
